Take off & Cabin variables?

Post by idj4 »

I’ve looked in this list but they’re not there.

viewtopic.php?t=1115

What are the variables for the Take Off Config & Cabin Altitude annunciators? I’d like to add them to the script

Thanks.

Regards.

See updated Variable list
https://www.flightsim4fun.com/Forum/vie ... php?t=1115

for the missing variables.

The list is not fully updated, there are still many missing variables in the list.

Until I have time to update, send a request to get correct info.

Hi Ian,
Roar told me some time ago that these annunciators are not in the factory built MIP from OC, consequently they are not included in the script. But he was able to advise Var. No's 1633 and 1634

Add after the Var 1529 line

Var 1633, name aCABIN_ALT, static, Link IOCARD_OUT, Device 31, Output xx
Var 1634, name aTO_CONFIG, static, Link IOCARD_OUT, Device 31, Output xx

Replace the xx with your specific output numbers

Additionally I had to add 2 lines in the Var 0004 section:

Var 0004, name MIP_POWER_ON, static
{
IF &MIP_POWER_ON = 0
{

&aCABIN_ALT = 0
&aTO_CONFIG = 0

I have got this information, when I worked with script version 6.5 and it worked perfectly for me even during lights test

Now I'm switching to script version 7.0 and new software and haven't tried these variables yet. I think the Var 1633 and 1634 lines will still work, but I don't know if Var 0004 section still needs to be modified because el. state and lights test logic seem to be different on the new script.

I will try within this week after I have finished all the custom assignments (my numbering is different to the factory built numbering)
Best Regards

Hi Norbert

Thanks for the info. I will try the script entries, but I’m still wating for the new driver & script v7.0. I did email a request to Roar, but not had a reply yet.

Ian

I can confirm now that the script entries, that I have shared previously, work perfectly with the new software and script v7.0

Actually I have only added the Var 1633 and Var 1634 lines, no additional entry in the Var 0004 section

Var 1633, name aCABIN_ALT, static, Link IOCARD_OUT, Device 31, Output xx
Var 1634, name aTO_CONFIG, static, Link IOCARD_OUT, Device 31, Output xx

As I don't have a MIP yet, I made tests with OC custom annunciators and a little test arrangement below my MCP

Parking brake set, flaps at 0° in combination with TOGA power let TO Config annunciator light up

Hi Norbert

Thanks for the update regarding the ToC & CA annunciators. I've added them to script v7.0 and can confirm too that they're working.

Regards
Ian

Hi Roar

Are there any variables for the left & right brake pedal function? I'm writing a script for my TQ and need duplicate how the Parking Brake lever is released. My PB lever is servo controlled.

There are no such varaiables in the PMDG 737 SDK. Maybe you can read these variable values via FSUIPC.

Where do I find these variable numbers? Is it in the PMDG SDK? I’ve looked at it and I don’t see such numbers. Am I missing something? I know you’ve made a list of the input/output variables on this forum, but in a previous post you said there are still a lot of them missing and they need to be added, hence adding the Take-off & Cab Alt a few days ago. Are the variables numbers your own that you made for your software or are they created by PMDG?

I would like see how or where you get them from so I can write a TQ script. I know you’re busy and I don’t want to keep asking for variable numbers, when there’s probably more important things you need to be doing.

Regards
Ian
